Her family moved to Denver, CO where she grew up and met John, her beloved husband of 63 years.

From their downtown apartment, they began their family but later moved to the Sunset district to lovingly raise three children. Roslie first worked in the Navy Purchasing Office, migrated to full-time wife and mother, and returned to work as an administrative assistant in special education. After more than forty years in San Francisco, Roslie and John retired to Walnut Creek.
